Haha… it’s okay. You are by NO MEANS the first person to do so. It’s a Huguenot name, you might be interested to know… French. 😉

And any scenes I might have of that sort would all be from my very earliest literary endeavors and there is no way on this earth I am posting one of those, but I’ll post a little moment from my WIP you can…[Read more]

An order of monks who have taken a vow of cheerful chattering.

You have no idea how hard that made me laugh, @Anna-Brie. 😀

Ah, this is a great topic, @Daeus. I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about— only I never had to go through the transition you’re going through now. My books always started as movies in my head— a visual reference to set down on paper, and I wrote it as I saw it, not as I thought it ‘ought to be written’, if you know what I mean.

I don’t…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy: Now THAT would be something. 😛

@Daeus: Thanks so much for sharing this! I’ve never really thought about it before, but the example you gave makes a lot of sense. The second example really sucks you into the story because you feel like you’re a part of the story. Like I said, I’ve never really thought about that before.

So cute, @sarah-h. Tell your little brother ‘well done.’

A merry, cheerful old uncle who wins the heart of his glum, sour, peevish young niece.

And a fantasy uncle (brother to the king and uncle to the prince) who is NOT a usurper. 😛

Ooh… that would be something @Joy-Schmidt. 😀

@daeus Thanks! 🙂

Good thoughts, everyone. 🙂

Oh @writefury those last two—! Oh man, you need to write those. That would be beyond hilarious.

Or even explaining what a video is! 🙂
My youngest sister adores the old Cinderella. I love the new Cinderella movie. (The acted out one.) Have you seen it? If not, you should. It is great. 😛

The rain lashed down on my ship. I stood with my paws braced on the deck. Rats scurried around me, fastening things. One of them, the boatswain, slipped on the slippery deck and took a nose dive. He glanced up to find me watching him.
“Capt’n, we need to drop anchor. We are going to die if we continue.”
“Nonsense,” I roared back over the noise of…[Read more]

An elephant who just loves mice.

That is so cute @rolena-hatfield. Have you seen the movie Dumbo? That has an elephant who likes a mouse called Timothy. Sweet movie.:)

@anna-brie Are you interested in writing to each other? I can get Kelly to send you my email address if you want.

Yes, @Belegteleri, totally agree! 🙂 Saying that a man can sincerely serve a false god (nothing more than a delusion of his own erring human brain) and through it serve the one true God in Whom he does not believe is the height of arrogant ignorance.

I’ll hold you to that. 😉
